Publishers and the wider book trade have swung in behind the prestigious New Zealand Children’s and Young Adults
Book Awards.

Between them, Book Tokens Ltd, Copyright Licensing New Zealand, Booksellers NZ, Nielsen Book and sponsor publishers Penguin Random House, Hachette, Scholastic and Potton & Burton, as well as all publishers who have finalists in the awards, have contributed $60,000 to ensure that the awards go forward. On top of that is the very welcome ongoing support of Creative New Zealand.
